Residential Cost Share Program

Cost share for Septic System Maintenance Now Open to ENTIRE Culpeper District

Thanks to a grant from the Water Quality Improvement Fund, cost share for septic system maintenance is now available to all addresses in the Culpeper District’s five counties. Click here for a brochure that includes the staff to contact.

Focused outreach continues for septic system maintenance in impaired watersheds that have a Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Implementation Plan. Cost share is 50% of approved costs including pump out, repairs, replacements and new systems or drainfields. These watersheds include:
